It be night time when shadows fadeShe was dressed like a chamber maidAll decked out in silk and I took herLike a cat takes to milkCome here little Queenie or...Has the cat got your tongue?Can't let nobody see meCome on girl while we're still young'Cause there's never been no lover's knotCan tie you down 'cause you're so hotDon't pinch me as* I may be dreamin'Hope tonight that I'll be screamin'

Black cherry, black cherry, black cherryI like it, I like it, I like it

She looked sheik in a funky wayTongue in cheek baby all the wayHome girls they got pride, she said'One time around' I said 'Let's go for a ride'Come here little Queenie... or ahHas the cat got your tongue?My best shot for a C note baby she saidThat's why this Janie's got a gunBecause there's nothin' like a good time girlTo take you twice around the worldI'm so in l*st I think I'm trippin'So in love I think I'm slippin'

Down to the river, down to the river of loveWhere the love runs deep it's so sad it's a love you can't keep

Down to the river, down to the riverAbover 42nd Street it's so sadThat the bad don't come cheap

Because there's nothing like a good time girlTo take you twice around the worldRight to the land of milk and honeyLeave your troubles, bring your money

Black cherry, black cherry, black cherryI like it, I like it, I like it
